Truth Calkins is the mastermind behind the legendary Erewhon Tonic Bar in Southern California.
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Truth at his health clinic, also known as the Jing Cave, set out in nature away from Electro Magnetic Radiation Stressors and dirty electricity.
I was amazed at how far Truth has come to create his reality by upgrading his healing center to such a powerful and magical place.
This healing center is available to those who have had an initial consult with Truth via a virtual session.
If you are interested in connecting with Truth about a health challenge or getting some guidance, please contact me to set that up.
Here is what we covered in the interview that Truth Calkins shared in order to powerfully create your reality.
On this episode of the Elevate Podcast, we had the pleasure of hosting Truth Calkins, a true expert in the realm of detox, wellness, and inner self-exploration.
The conversation stretched across several enlightening topics, from detox practices and the importance of grounding to the integration of Taoist tonic herbs in daily life.
Through this journey, we hope you find valuable insights and practical advice to help you craft a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Truth Calkins’ Book: A Manual for Serious Learners of Truth and Health
At the end of the podcast, Truth Calkins gave us a sneak peek of what to expect and the core essence of his upcoming book, which he describes as an advanced manual tailored for those deeply committed to understanding longevity arts and optimal health.
The book is meticulously structured to guide learners from basic concepts to advanced topics, ensuring a layered progression of knowledge.
I highlighted my excitement over this resource, seeing it as a crucial tool for anyone on an advanced path toward self-discovery and wellness.
This is set to release in 2025 and is called The Longevity Arts and the JingMasters Handbook by Truth Calkins.
It kind of reminded me of the amazing manual Survival in the 21st Century: Planetary Healers Manual by Viktoras Kulvinskas.
A mutual old friend of Truth Calkins and I, the wizard Keith, who has now left the body, loved this manual and lived his life in alignment with a lot of the principles in there as well as through Truth’s teachings.
Keith had HIV and shared so many recipes for healing his body on his YouTube channel.
We felt his presence while I was visiting him at the Jing Cave and I send a little shout out to him across time and space here.
More details about Truth’s virtual coaching and healing retreat can be found in the episode description or you can contact me here to learn more.
Here is a summary of the latest podcast with Truth Calkins, a master of the healing and longevity arts.
Principles of Personal Wellness: Grounding, Nature, and Meditation
We emphasized a range of personal wellness practices that serve as pillars for a balanced life.
The mastery of lower chakras and the engagement with higher energy centers are deemed essential.
Spending time in nature,
- grounding oneself,
- meditating,
- and relieving stress form the blueprint of a well-rounded wellness routine.
I believe Truth’s new book aligns perfectly with contemporary needs, providing insights into these practices in great depth.
Detoxification: A Key to Holistic Health
Truth Calkins passionately spoke about detoxification’s importance, delving into the need to eliminate body toxins through various methods such as
- hydration,
- lymphatic movement,
- skin therapies (like saunas),
- and proper breathing techniques.
He strongly advocates for incorporating detox education in school curriculums, stressing the vital role of nutrition and biophysics knowledge.
A significant part of our discussion addressed the misconceptions surrounding detox, with many unaware of its extensive benefits and the many channels through which toxins should be eliminated daily.
Misconceptions and the Current Health Paradigm
A fascinating topic was the critique of the modern medical system’s heavy reliance on antibiotics, tracing back to Louis Pasteur’s germ theory.
Truth mentioned the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs and emphasized the body’s “frequency field” as a pivotal point for reversing disease progression.
This perspective underscores the importance of lifestyle and environmental changes, which can be more effective than conventional medical treatments, in some cases, for maintaining optimal health.
Personal Responsibility and Inner Healing
Truth shared his personal journey, highlighting the significance of taking personal responsibility for one’s health.
He discussed his own struggles with seeking external validation due to childhood issues, which led to burnout and premature aging.
His journey toward healing emphasized changing one’s environment, detaching from negative influences, and fostering personal growth through self-care.
This critical shift from societal conformity towards self-authenticity formed a recurring theme throughout the episode.
Detox Practices and Lifestyle Adjustments
I expressed curiosity about the carbon dioxide body suit for detoxification, and Truth broke down the stages necessary for effective detox.
These include staying hydrated with structured water and focusing on live foods.
Detoxification, as explained, involves continuous practices like
- daily hydration,
- regular sauna sessions,
- and specific detox regimens aligning with one’s personalized health needs.
Critique of Modern Value Systems
The critique of contemporary materialistic values revealed stark contrasts between societal norms and the principles of personal wellness and spiritual growth.
Truth pointed to the distraction culture perpetuated by social media and consumer habits, often hindering true enlightenment and personal growth.
He referenced teachings from thought leaders like Joe Dispenza, underscoring meditation as a pathway to disconnect from societal distractions and reconnect with inner selves.
The Power of Meditation and Focus
Meditation was described as an indispensable practice, helping reduce stress, enhance calmness, and achieve mental clarity.
Truth discussed techniques like focusing on a simple line drawing during meditation, a method that sends a clear intention to the universe, thereby aiding in manifesting personal desires.
This practice is a potent tool for “exercising the brain” and expanding its capacity for creative and focused thought.
Nourishing the Inner Self with Tonic Herbs
The conversation then moved into the Taoist tradition of tonic herbs, which are considered essential for nourishing energies like Jing, Chi, and Shen.
Truth illuminated the unique properties of these herbs compared to western herbs, emphasizing their cumulative benefits and potential for transforming lives.
Tonic herbs foster resilience and can support individuals through various life challenges, offering a profound impact on both physical and spiritual health.
Practical Applications of Tonic Herbs
I shared my admiration for Truth’s “jing cappuccino” recipe, which incorporates tonic herbs.
Truth made me one while visiting the Jing Cave.
It was so deeply nourishing I brought a bag home which his assistant carefully crafted for me.
He has this available on a small scale for his clients and, in the New Year, will likely have it online for purchase.
The practical aspects of herbal usage were discussed, with Truth describing how these herbs could be as fundamental as a fifth food group, as Ron Teeguarden has shared in the past.
They not only support vitality but also facilitate spiritual growth and reduce the stress of modern life.
The successful lives of individuals like Thomas Edison were invoked to show how resilience often follows many failures, paralleling the effect of tonic herbs.
Cultivating a Positive Environmental Influence
Truth discussed the importance of creating a thriving environment for personal and spiritual growth.
He introduced concepts like the “Jing Cave,” a space devoid of harmful frequencies, and emphasized the importance of monitoring environmental health factors such as radon and mold.
Practices like grounding and the strategic use of full-spectrum lights and scalar energy devices were recommended to enhance the life force and overall energy in living spaces.
Inner Fulfillment and the Detachment from External Validation
The episode also dissected the societal tendency towards seeking external validation, be it through relationships, social media, or consumer habits.
Truth highlighted the addictive nature of these behaviors and their role in keeping individuals from true spiritual growth and personal enlightenment.
Practices aimed at internal fulfillment, grounded in meditation and mindfulness, were suggested to break free from these cycles of dependency and achieve genuine contentment.
Detoxification’s impact on Overall Health
Truth detailed how the modern toxic lifestyle can lead to a myriad of health issues, advocating for detox practices that cleanse the body and restore well-being.
Simple steps like
- drinking more water,
- consuming celery juice,
- intermittent fasting,
- and engaging in purification practices were recommended.
Keeping the body’s ‘vessel’ clear is crucial for both physical and spiritual well-being.
Profound Benefits of Nature on Mental Clarity and Emotional Health
Spending time in nature was underscored as a transformative practice.
Truth shared his personal experiences of retreating into nature for extended periods to heal and find peace.
Disconnecting from daily life and fully immersing in natural surroundings can lead to enhanced mental clarity and emotional balance.
Quantum Mechanics and the Observer Effect in Creating Reality
Truth intriguingly tied the concept of quantum mechanics’ observer effect to the idea of creating reality through thoughts and beliefs.
He spoke of the profound influence society, family, and educational structures have on shaping an individual’s belief systems, often limiting their perception of what’s possible.
Using a Lord of the Rings analogy, Truth illustrated how modern societal structures can act as barriers to personal knowledge and growth.
A Critique of Mainstream Spiritual Pursuits
We critiqued mainstream spiritual pursuits, underscoring the need for genuine spiritual exploration rather than superficial engagement.
We addressed the rise of spirituality as a trend, warning against practices adopted solely for social validation.
True spiritual growth requires internalization and serious commitment.
Personal Transformation Through Focus and Intention
Truth Calkins shared a significant personal transformation at age 30, which included adopting practices like
- meditation,
- qigong,
- and tonic herbs to address chronic fatigue and depression.
Creating a distraction-free living space and focusing on nature and self-reflection played pivotal roles in his healing journey.
Leveraging Modern Health Technologies for Personal Growth
Truth’s use of modern health technologies such as
- RIFE machines and
- structured water devices was highlighted,
emphasizing the importance of creating a harmonious environment conducive to personal and spiritual growth.
Strategic placement and everyday use of these tools facilitate a balanced lifestyle and support overall well-being.
Detoxification’s Role in Enhancing Life Force
Lastly, Truth explained the core concept of detoxification as a means to enhance life force and overall vitality.
Recommendations extended to simple lifestyle habits like
- intermittent fasting,
- hydration,
- and engaging in regular detox practices to maintain optimal health.
Conclusion
The holistic approach discussed in this episode encompasses
- detox practices,
